As with all corals, location is key to the success, especially in a mixed reef. Most mixed reefs that are successful still have issues with coral growth due to toxins. While the toxins present might not be enough to kill an adjacent coral it can certainly slow down its growth! For example how many SPS tanks do not have Sarcophyton sp. in them? Sarc's are found in the same area on reef as many SPS. With that said it is normal for corals to fight for space. In areas over run with Sarc's there are little to no SPS. This is because of a toxin(s) released by the Sarc's as they fight for space on the reef.
